Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2020086312A1] An implantable artificial capsule and a method of implantation are provided. The implantable artificial capsule has a ring with a central opening to accommodate an intraocular lens and at least three haptic arms extending substantially orthogonal from the outer surface of the ring. Each arm has transcleral anchors for sutureless scleral fixation. Upon implantation of the implantable artificial capsule the arms are externalized trans-sclerally and atraumatically. The arms sit subconjunctivally. The implantable artificial capsule does not have any sutures for fixation and is suturelessly implanted in an eye, which is a major advantage as it significantly reduces complications during surgery and recovery.
